Reform New Party "Proportional Representation Focused on Low Birthrate Measures... Over 100 District Candidates Registered"

Ham Ik-byeong, the nomination management committee member of the Reform New Party, stated on the 5th, "We are considering nominating proportional representatives who can clearly deliver a message regarding the low birthrate issue."

The Reform New Party explained that it held a nomination management committee meeting at the National Assembly in the afternoon and decided on the nomination direction accordingly.

Committee member Ham said, "We have created a future industry food belt (semiconductors) in the constituencies with young and reform-minded people," adding, "For proportional representatives, we basically intend to nominate individuals who can clearly convey a message about the low birthrate issue, which our people feel is the most urgent crisis."

Kim Young-ho, spokesperson for the nomination committee, told reporters immediately after the meeting, "We are currently accepting applications for Reform New Party constituency candidates. The process continues until tomorrow, and about 100 candidates have completed their applications so far," adding, "More than half of the candidates have applied from the metropolitan area."

He further explained, "It seems that no major city will be left out," and "Currently, there are candidates from Gwangju, and we expect a considerable number from Honam as well." He also said, "About 20 constituencies are currently competitive, so there will be strategic adjustments in the future." Spokesperson Kim added, "Applications for constituency candidates will close tomorrow, and nomination interviews and evaluations for regional candidates are scheduled to take place from the 7th to the 9th."
